Bizarro Circus of Madness
(2025)An anthology of stories edited by Riley Odell
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! But be wary, for what lurks beyond these curtains is not for the faint of heart!
Witness a man who discovers the best way to rid his basement of asbestos is by eating it! But he’s in for a surprise—who could have ever expected asbestos would taste so good?
Perhaps you’ve murdered your wife by accident? No problem, just call the Phoenix Corp! They’ll take care of the problem for you. Just know that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Have you heard of the new STD everyone’s been talking about? It’s called the TNT, and you don’t want to catch it—it will literally make you explode!
These are but a few of the demented delights that await you, should you be brave enough to enter! Killer hamsters, magic teacups, demon fetuses—we’ve got it all at the Bizarro Circus of Madness!
